Routino Extras
From version 2.6 of Routino some of the non-essential programs and scripts that were mixed in with the rest of the Routino source distribution are now separated into an 'extras' directory.In version 3.1 the 'extras' directory contains the following:
- tagmodifier - A program to test the tag transformation rules used by the Routino database generation step. This was previously included in Routino as part of the main source code.
- errorlog - A Perl script that processes the error log file (from running planetsplitter --errorlog) and generates either a web page or a summary. This was previously included in the web/bin directory of the Routino source code.
- plot-time - A Perl/gnuplot script to plot a summary of the execution time of the Routino database generation (using the output of planetsplitter --loggable --logtime).
- find-fixme - A modified instance of the Routino database generator that looks for items (nodes, ways and relations) that are tagged with fixme=... and creates a database of them and provides a modified version of the visualiser web page for viewing them.
- statistics - A program to extract statistics about the highways that are included in the Routino database.
Find-Fixme
The main http://www.OpenStreetMap.org map now has the ability to add 'notes' which is a user-friendly way of tagging problems with the map. There are however many thousand fixme tags still in the database which do much the same thing. This program and web page are a way to bring attention to these because at least some of them are markers of problems that affect routing.After the UK routing example database is updated a database of fixme tags in the UK is also generated.
Fixme Map for UK (zoom in to an area and select the "Display Fixme Tags" button).
Parsing Errors
After the UK routing example database is updated a database of parsing errors is also generated.There is no separate tool to see these but they are contained in the Data Visualiser for UK (zoom in to an area and select the "Display Error Logs" button).
Statistics
The Routino database is a concentrated source of information about the highways in the selected region. By stepping through the database the properties of each segment can be checked and recorded.The program provided groups the data into regions that correspond to the standard OSM tiles (default of a zoom 13 tile). The highway properties are written out to a text file indexed by tile position. A separate Perl script is provided to create "heatmap" images from this data.
